3. Estimation of Business Results of Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2017 (April 1, 2016 through March 31, 2017) (Percentages show year-on-year changes.) Net sales Operating income Ordinary income Profit attributable to owners of parent E.P.S. Million yen Million yen Million yen Million yen Yen FY ending March 31, 2017 535,700 21,700 21,200 12,800 44.97 * Notes (1) Any changes in important subsidiaries during the term (Change in specific subsidiaries as a result of a change in the scope of consolidation): None New inclusion: companies (company name) Elimination: companies (company name) (2) Changes in accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates, and restatement (i) Changes in accounting policies associated with the revision of accounting standards, etc.: Yes (ii) Changes in accounting policies other than (i): Yes (Change in method for recording sales) Previously, we used to recognize the portion of the expenses we bore on behalf of our clients for the purpose of promoting the sales of products (hereinafter, promotion expenses") in selling, general and administrative expenses as promotion expenses or sales commission when the payment amounts were finalized after the sales of products. However, effective from the year ended March 31, 2015, we have adopted a method in which these expenses are now deducted from net sales when sales are recorded. Please note that the changes in the accounting policies have been applied retrospectively, and that the consolidated financial statements in the previous fiscal year reflect the values after the retroactive application of the policies. As a result, the net sales and the gross profit for the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2015 each fell by 25,303 million yen when compared to the amounts before retroactive application; the selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 25,093 million yen; and the operating income, the ordinary income and the income before income taxes and minority interest each decreased by 209 million yen. In addition, the accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets of the previous fiscal year rose by 1,963 million yen; the deferred tax assets (current assets) increased by 154 million yen; the other current liabilities decreased by 494 million yen; and the retained earnings decreased by 1,314 million yen. Because the cumulative effects on the net assets at the beginning of the previous fiscal year were now reflected, the balance in the retained earnings at the beginning of the previous fiscal year decreased by 1,129 million yen. (iii) Changes in accounting estimates: None (iv) Restatement: None (3) Total number of outstanding shares (Common stock) (i) Total number of outstanding shares at term end (Includes treasury stock): As of March 31, 2016: 295,851,065 shares As of March 31, 2015: 295,851,065 shares (ii) Total treasury stock at term end: As of March 31, 2016: 11,193,439 shares As of March 31, 2015: 10,027,894 shares (iii) Average number of outstanding shares during the period: For the year ended March 31, 2016: 285,721,435 shares For the year ended March 31, 2015: 285,846,560 shares * Status of a quarterly review This financial summary falls outside the scope of audit procedures based on the stipulations of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act.
